Billboardlive.com streaming tonight's R. Kelly concert
Preston Jones
Billboardlive.com is teaming up with Our World Live, Inc. to launch a Web-based concert series, which (lucky us) starts with tonight's R. Kelly gig at the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie. The show gets going at 8 p.m. -- there are a couple opening acts; R. Kelly probably won't be onstage until closer to 9 p.m. -- it will be Webcast in HD and best of all, it's free. Point your browser toward billboardlive.com and download the Owl HD player to view the show.
According to the press materials, the billboardlive.com shows are shot with five cameras, which allows for an interactive viewing experience. "Fans have the ability for the first time ever to view the concert from five different angles of their choosing, the larger, full-screen view, as well as four other views where they can replace the main image, at any time, for a unique experience - all with just the click of their mouse," so sayeth the press release.
If it works -- these things can be kinda hinky on start-up -- it'll be a nifty time-killer. The site will have a schedule of upcoming performances shortly.
DFW.com is pleased to be able to offer its users the opportunity to make comments and hold conversations online. However, the interactive nature of the internet makes it impractical for our staff to monitor each and every posting.
Since DFW.com does not control user submitted statements, we cannot promise that readers will not occasionally find offensive or inaccurate comments posted on our website. In addition, we remind anyone interested in making an online comment that responsibility for statements posted lies with the person submitting the comment, not DFW.com.
If you find a comment offensive, clicking the exclamation icon will flag the comment for review by the administrators; we are counting on the good judgment of all our readers to help us.
